hi I'm David Katz Myra from CNN I'm here at CES 2018 with LG and we're looking at their new OLED lineup this is the w8 behind me it's their highest and OLED organic light-emitting diode television for 2018 we've really liked these TVs in the past they provide excellent picture quality the best we've ever tested the w8 is one of the coolest looking TVs we've actually introduced last year this really thin wallpaper form factors look at it from the side it just blends right into the wall the sound bar here at the bottom but the TV itself is just consists of this panel that kind of just sits on the wall very flush very cool design LG also has an e8 display which has a redesign stand this year there's a thicker chunk at the bottom that's transparent a really nice slick display again very thin but not quite as thin as the wallpaper changes this year the LG has made or not drastic the companies went ahead mainly on the Smart TV side and added Google assistant into its normal Smart TV system so you can pick up the remote and ask for things on Google assistant for example search shows ask for actors another thing you can do with Google assistant is use it for to control smart home appliances LG actually has its think IQ series of smart home technology vacuum cleaners washer dryers that sort of thing that you can control using the TV's built-in smart assistant system so that's the big addition LG has also made some tweaks to picture quality this year that are a little bit less they still have the same black levels the same brightness and the same color as last year but this year they did add a different video processing it's called the Alpha 9 processor LG says it introduced artifacts like noise and banding get the picture a little bit better looking although already it was really superb so I'm curious to see in the lab how much better that processing actually looks that's a quick look at LG's 2018 OLED TV lineup and here with the w 8 and e 8 there's other TVs in the series that cost a little bit less we'll get full pricing availability later this year David Katz Myer at CES 2018
